“It’s a great honour and it’s always pleasing to have a personal accolade like this. But it can’t be done without the staff and the other players – so it’s testament to how far we’ve come and how well we’re doing as a team this season.

“The fact that our players are getting these awards in recognition for performances, shows that we’re doing the right things here at Barnsley and everyone is riding the wave of success.

“It’s not just my goals; everything contributes to this award. All the players, all the coaching staff, all the physios and sports science staff – everyone is doing such a good job this season and it’s good to get that recognition and know that you’re playing your part in something that’s special and something that we’re very proud of.”
